The Egner family, of which EGNER Frederick William Egner, a rep- resentative citizen of Newark, New Jersey, is a member, is an old and highly respected one, their record being that of well- spent lives characterized by honesty, integrity and faithfulness in every duty devolving upon them. Frederick W. Egner was born in Orange, New Jersey, August 6, 1870, son of John Frederick and Elizabeth (Graah) Egner.


Frederick W. Egner attended the public schools of Orange, acquiring there a practical education which qualified him for a life of usefulness and activity. At the age of four- teen he began his active business career by entering the service of the Half Dime Savings Bank of Orange, incorporated May 1, 1870, located in the new National Bank building. During his seven years connection with this institution he performed his duties in a highly creditable and efficient manner that won for him the commendation of those in authority, and he was advanced from time to time to positions of greater trust and responsibility. In 1891 he accepted the position of assistant


bookkeeper in the safe deposit department of the Fidelity Trust Company of Newark, and six months later was transferred to the bank- ing department of the institution as assistant teller, receiving the appointment of paying teller at the expiration of another six months, these rapid promotions being due to his own exertions and by the exercise of prudence, foresight and intelligence, and he served in the latter capacity for five years. On January 19, 1899, Mr. McCarter was elected president of the company, and Mr. Egner was chosen secretary and treasurer, filling the offices for a period of ten years, during which time there was great development in the affairs of the institution, he being an active factor in the same. In 1909 he was chosen for a more responsible position, that of third vice-presi- dent, an office then newly created, wherein he has a wide scope for the exercise of his talents and executive ability, and in this responsible position he is making his influence felt and is proving himself a power in the workings of the institution. Being a man of sterling honesty and incorruptible integrity, progressive but never aggressive, wisdom, tact and foresight characterizing all his acts, he has been chosen to serve as a director of the Union County Trust Company of Elizabeth, and the Essex County Trust Company of East Orange. He is a member of the Newark Board of Trade, the Essex Club, Essex County Country Club, Baltusrol Golf Club, Forest Hill Field Club, and the Salmagundi and Lotos clubs, of New York City. He finds his recreation from busi- ness cares in outdoor sports, in all of which he takes a keen interest and derives therefrom 1:ot only pleasure but profit.


Mr. Egner married (first) in November, 1895, Florence G. Carter, who died in July, 1905. He married (second) in December, 1907, Elizabeth Wigton, of Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania. Children of first wife: J. Edmund, Harold F. and Horace F. Egner.

He learned the trade of carpenter and builder in early life, and worked as a journeyman for several years, when he became a master builder and contractor as well as carpenter, taking up the entire business proposition in 1861. He became successful, as is shown by the various buildings, public and private, that are the product of his skill, not only in Ridgewood but in the surrounding country. The prosperity and attractiveness of Ridgewood is largely due to his taste and skill as an architect and builder, as well as a progressive, enterprising citizen in civic affairs. He was a member of the Bergen county tax board, 1900-05, and in the latter year was made a member and chairman of the board of taxation under the state laws, and he has held the office continuously since his appointment. He was also made vice-presi- dent of the board of directors of the First National Bank of Ridgewood, having held the office since 1900. He was also made a director of the Ridgewood Trust Company ; vice-presi- dent of the Ridgewood Building & Loan Association, and he holds important financial relations with other trusts and estates. His advice and opinion on investments are sought by those looking for an honest opinion dis- interestedly given, and his care of trust funds is as safe as honesty and fidelity combined can make it sure. He is an able supporter of wise legislation in the interest of his native town and county, and when he goes before any leg- islative committee he carries with him sufficient reputation and representative weight to generally secure favorable consideration for such measures as he advocates. Mr. Zabriskie married Mary, daughter of John Garretson and their two children were born at Paramus, New Jersey : I. Minnie, January 6, 1864, mar- ried Lewis Nearing, of Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, September 19, 1882, and their six chil- dren were born in Morris Run, Pennsylvania :

CLARK This ancient surname is, numer- ically speaking and otherwise, one of the most prominent patro- nymics in America. Several of the name are recorded among the founders of New Eng- land, notably Richard Clarke, who landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, from the "May- flower," in 1620, and consequently there are in America many distinct families bearing the name between whom there is apparently not the slightest semblance of kinship. The family mentioned in this article was founded by Lieu- tenant William Clarke, one of the most highly respected and public-spirited immigrants to seek a home on this side of the ocean.


(I) Lieutenant William Clarke, born in Dorsetshire, England, in 1609, sailed from Plymouth, March 30, 1630, in the "Mary and John," and with Roger Clapp, Rev. Mr. War- nam and several prominent men who were his fellow passengers, was one of the founders of Dorchester, Massachusetts. He served as a selectman in Dorchester from 1646-50, and during his residence there of nearly thirty years took a prominent part in the political and religious affairs of the town and the establish- ment of free public education. In 1655 he was associated with Nicholas Clap, of Dorchester, and Moses Paine and George Belcher, of Braintree, in constructing a highway from the last-named town to Roxbury. Being desirous of following Rev. Eleazer Mather to Northamp- ton, Massachusetts, he, with other residents of Dorchester, petitioned the general court in 1653 for permission to settle in the "new coun- try," as it was called, and he removed thither in 1659. The journey through the wilderness was necessarily long and tedious. His wife rode on horseback with two baskets, called "panniers," slung across the horse, carrying a child in each and a third in her lap, her hus- band, then fifty years old, proceeding on foot. Arriving at his destination, he settled upon a grant of twelve acres of land, lying on the west side of what is now Elm street, and bordering on Mill river. Here he erected a log house which served as a habitation for his family until 1681, when it was burned, and an histor- icalaccount of this catastrophe reads as follows : "Jack, a negro servant of Samuel Wolcott, of Wethersfield, set fire to the house of Lieu-


tenant William Clarke, by taking a brand of fire from the hearth and swinging it up and down, for to find victuals, and was sentenced to be taken from the bar to the place whence he came, and there to be hanged by the neck till he be dead, and then to be taken down and burned to ashes in the fire. He confessed that he did it, and did it in carelessness and the law had its course." The new house erected in 1681, remained standing until 1826. This dwelling stood in the immediate vicinity of Smith College. Lieutenant William Clarke was one of the most influential among the founders of Northampton, and in addition to being one of the seven pillars of the church, he was twenty times chosen a member of the board of selectmen, was for ten years regularly chosen one of the commissioners to end small cases, was the first deputy to the general court from Northampton and thirteen times re-elect- ed to that body, and was the first citizen of that town authorized to solemnize marriages. For twenty-six years he acted as an associate justice of the county court, and was frequently appointed by the court to settle grievances with the Indians, and several times chosen a commissioner to determine disputed boundary lines. He assisted in building the first sawmill, also the first gristmill, was a leading spirit in the business life of the town as well as in its public affairs, and acquired a large amount of real estate, which he divided among his sons prior to his death. In 1661 he organized the first military company in the town, and having received a lieutenant's commission he served as such in King Phillip's war and other Indian outbreaks. The "History of Northampton" states that he was dignified, self-confident and resourceful ; that he bore a more conspicuous part in the early history of the town than any other citizen of his day, and continued as a leader until old age compelled him to give place to younger, but scarcely better, men. He died at Northampton, July 19, 1690, aged eighty- one years, and in 1884 his descendants erected a handsome monument beside the ancient stone which had marked his resting place for nearly two hundred years. Lieutenant William Clarke was twice married, Sarah, his first wife (maid- en surname unknown), died in Northampton, September 6, 1675. November 15, 1676, he married (second) Sarah, widow of Thomas Cooper, who was killed by the Indians at the burning of Springfield in 1675. Children, all of his first union, and born in Dorchester : Sarah, born in 1638, died young: Jonathan, born 1639; Nathaniel, 1642; Experience, 1643;

(Il) Nathaniel, second son and third child of Lieutenant William and Sarah Clarke, was born in Dorchester, November 27, 1642. He resided in Northampton, acquired prominence in public affairs, and served as a lieutenant in the local militia. The records of Northamp- ton, available to the writer, fail to mention the narne of Lieutenant Nathaniel Clarke's wife, nor do they give the names of all of his chil- dren.


(III) Nathaniel, son of Lieutenant Nathan- iel Clarke, was born in Northampton, in April, 1693; died in Lebanon, Connecticut, May 20, 1737. He settled in Lebanon on land acquired from the Indians by his uncle, Captain Will- iam Clarke, who was a party in what was known as the "Clarke and Dewey Purchase," comprising a large tract in the northerly part of the town. Nathaniel Clarke married Han- nah Kellogg, born in Hatfield, Massachusetts, September II, 1699, daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Dickinson) Kellogg, the former of whom was born in Hadley, Massachusetts, April 1I, 1639. Hannah Kellogg was a de- scendant in the fifth generation of Phillippe Kellogg (1), of Braintree, England, through Martin (2), Samuel (3), the immigrant, and Samuel (4). She survived her husband, and was residing at Lebanon in 1747, when she sold land to her brother, Samuel. Children of Nathaniel and Hannah (Kellogg) Clarke: I. Nathaniel, born in Lebanon, August 16, 1720; married Martha Witt, November 5, 1740. 2. Ashael, born March II, 1721-22. 3. Silas, June 20, 1724; died April 16, 1809. 4.

(IV) Jared, fourth son and fifth child of Nathaniel and Hannah ( Kellogg) Clarke, was born in Lebanon, July 15, 1729; died there, September II, 1775. He was one of the most prominent citizens of Lebanon in his day; reared a large family, many of whom likewise attained prominence, and his children inter- married with families of the highest respect- ability. September 12, 1752, Jared Clarke married Mollie Abel, born in Lebanon, Febru- ary 24, 1736, daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Crane) Abel, granddaughter of Caleb and Abigail (Sluman ) Abel, and great-granddaugh- ter of Sergeant Caleb and Margaret (Post) Abel.
